FOLLOWING THE BALL
Here is an up-to-date story presenting American boarding-school life andmodern athletics. Football is an important feature, but it is a story ofcharacter formation in which athletics play an important part.
"Mingled with the story of football is another and higher endeavor, giving the book the best of moral tone."--_Chicago Record-Herald._
MAKING THE NINE
The life presented is that of a real school, interesting, diversified,and full of striking incidents, while the characters are true andconsistent types of American boyhood and youth. The athletics aretechnically correct, abounding in helpfull suggestions, and the moraltone is high and set by action rather than preaching.
"The story is healthful, for, while it exalts athletics, it does not overlook the fact that studious habits and noble character are imperative needs for those who would win success in life."--_Herald and Presbyter, Cincinnati._
IN THE LINE
Tells how a stalwart young student won his position as guard, and at thesame time made equally marked progress in the formation of character.Plenty of jolly companions contribute a strong, humorous element, andthe book has every essential of a favorite.
"The book gives boys an interesting story, much football information, and many lessons in true manliness."--_Watchman, Boston._
With Mask and Mitt
While baseball plays an important part in this story, it is not the onlyelement of attraction. While appealing to the natural normal tastes ofboys for fun and interest in the national game, the book, withoutpreaching, lays emphasis on the building up of character.
"No normal boy who is interested in our great national game can fail to find interest and profit, too, in this lively boarding school story."--_Interior, Chicago._
